Double sided tape in strips from a roll or in sheets can be used in many, many crafts.
Books
Neater Than Glue
Double-sided tape is a wonderful way to assemble our Star Book Kits and others that require an adhesive. Less glue mess and much faster.
Envelopes And Boxes
Clear Tape Can Be Very Useful
If you make your own envelopes or boxes, 1/4″ wide double-sided tape is a great way to put them together and to seal them. It’s plenty strong enough for normal mail handling.
1/4″ wide double-sided tape is great for sealing handmade or any other envelopes that come without a glue strip.
Since the tape is clear it’s a perfect choice for sealing clear plastic envelopes.
Collage
Frosted Effect

Turn image over and repeat on the front. Remove the backing film. Cover entire front with clear micro-beads. It makes the image look frosted.
